Syncing Time Between Cameras
You can set the sender camera time on up to 10 receiver cameras. Note that even after synchronization, a slight margin of error applies between sender and receiver camera time (of ±0.05 seconds, at most).
Caution
- Not available for different camera models over a Wi-Fi connection. When using a wired LAN connection, an EOS R5 with Wireless File Transmitter WFT-R10B connected can also be used.
- This feature will not be available after 2038.
Note
- Use of wired LAN with the camera requires Battery Grip BG-R20EP or Cooling Fan CF-R20EP (both sold separately).
